Identifying with the service user and the staff of the out of area placement clear goals for progression through the pathway being identified (e.g. managing medication more independently, self catering, budgeting).

Facilitating assessment by the potential move-on accommodation provider at an appropriate time.

Liaising with all parties, including family members/carers, and support the service user and family practically and emotionally through the assessment and move-on process, including visits, transitional leave and final move.
